Take a chisel and break them Off at the base. Or fill syringe with boiling water and squeeze into tube

no it wont if its not out of water long, just keep a bucket or 2 of tank water to dunk and rinse it in


however scrubbing them isnt going to do it they need to be broke at the base as they retract into there sells

i epoxy mine in, feeding less goes a long way as does keeping your liverock debris free, the less amount of stuff in the water column for them to feed the better

Thanks for the response. I am trying to get the base of them as best I can with a knife. Then I am using a brush to scrub them dead. Then a quick rinse and on to the next piece. I even boiled a piece that was too porous to get inside of
